THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 18, 1813. Mtnte Lonit, The Baltimore American of Monday states that tlio $lK)0,000 seven per cent. Ohio State stock ofl'er-ed in New York, has all been taken, at par. This will be most gratifying intelligence to our domestic creditors. The tendency of all stocks is still upward, The New York Express of Friday says The tendency of every thing in the money market is upward. There has not been so much good feel-in IT, or confidence for a long time as there is at pro-Bent.The movements of the Secretary of tlio Treasury begin to he looked to with a good deal of interest Hp is making an effort which will probably be successful to convert $8,000,000 of Treasury Notes, o.t or before July next, into five per cent. Government titock. The money has not yet been obtained to meet Ihe payment, but an arrangement has beJn made with certain banks to redeem and hold all such as may he presented previous to that date. In the meantime an invitation for proposals to loan to the Government the amount at five cent., payable in ten years, in Treasury Notes, or otherwise, has been issued. Mr, Field's Lecture. It ts seldom that we call attention to matters of this kind. But from the testimonials in Mr, Field's possession, we feel warranted in promising an intellectual treat to those who may hiivo any curiosity or desire for information on the n in Here which will form the subject of his lecture this evening. ff Three men, named Brcudlovo, Jewell, and Beincs, have been arrested nnd committed in Washington city, charged with stealing about $100,000 in Treasury notes in July last, in tho city of Now Orleans, They have been delivered up to the authorities of Louisiana. CongrrMiounl Con Trillion. The Whigs of Franklin will obscrvo by the following proceedings of a meeting of their political brethren in Knox county, that a movement is making for an early Convention to nominate a candidato for this Congressional district; and l this they will doubtless properly and promptly respond : Kuox Count? Convention. Pursuant to a call emanating from Ilm Whig County Committee, and published in the Times, n Convention of tho Whigs of Knox took piano in tho Court House in Mt. Vernon, on Saturday 1,1th May, im. The meeting being called to order, James Rigby, Eq., was chosen President, and W. II. Cochran, Kecrelary. On motion, J. B. Brown, R. C. Hurd, and G. A, Junes were appointed a committee to nominate dele piles to represent this county in (ho approaching District Convention. The Committee having retired a few minutes, reported a delegation of twenty-five persons, corresponding to tho number of townships in tho county, nnd recommended that they should have power to till any vacancies that may occur. On motion the report was unanimously adopted, and tho persons named as follows confirmed as delegates: Alexander Ilirnos, Caleb Lett, G. W Ilouclr, Hani Durbin, C. Delano, A. II. Brown, J. W.

The following resolutions being ottered by U. C. Hurd, were on motion adopted item. eon. Whereas, the great principles advncnled by the Whig parly, when fairly carried into the policy and practice id our Government, have been attended with public prosperity; and, whereas, every radical departure from them has been attended with public distress nnd calamity ; therefore, Resolved, Tint tlio clear lights of reason and experience require us to adhere to, and advocate those principles, Hrt among which stand a National Currency, and a Protective Turilt. Hisohed, That tho pernicious doctrines of B ink Destruction and an exclusive metnllic currency, which have mingled to an indefinite degree in the councils and official labors of tho Democratic parly, no called ; and which in this Stale have covcrod our Hut ii to Book with a series of currency stop laws, are vicious off-moots from the original error of attempting to reform a National Currency acknowledged to have been the best in tho world. Resolved, That tho parcelling of tliii State into Con grots ion al Districts by the lat General Assembly, is a political sin which the people should and in punish by an indignant repudiation of the authors.Rtsotved, Thntin ihe approaching canvass, m-c invito our Whig friends in Licking and Franklin to their best exertion, promising on our part faithfully to maintain in Knox the glorious cause against the ilelmnvo doctrines of free Tratlr and a mrtattic cur-rr Hrynya in tt Repudiation, tho tierryimtuter, and Treachery in Inch place.

Since this Institution passed into tho hands of tho Locol'ocos, it has been a constant bone of contention among the lean nnd hungry office seekers of that party.

Tne Erll and the Itemed r. The physician, upon visiting a sick patient, and before prescribing medicine, feels his pulse, examines his tongue, and enquires into his hah its and modes of living. The nature of the disease being thus ascertained, the remedies are administered accordingly. Let us apply this common sense mode of doing business, to the disease under which the body politic, or, in other words, the entire community, are now laboring.This disease is want of profitable employment want of remunerating prices for agricultural products and want of a sufficient circulating medium Which disease, with all its disustrous and fatal ef- fncts, has been brought upon us by a refusal of our legislators to rec barter the sound and solvent banks, and the consequent withdrawal of their notes from circulation. To this cause alone the putting down of tho banks may be attributed tho low price for wheat, the almost no price for corn, potatoes, butter, oats, and agricultural products generally. Soma persons insist upon it, that these, low prices and no prices, are caused by the cessation or want of a foreign demand. We would ask such persons, when it was, that wo had any better foreign market than we have at present, for oats, corn, potatoes, butter, eggs, &c ? And as to the article of wheat, the great staple of Ohio, when, within the last seven years, has the foreign demand been greater than it is now ? The following statement of the Agricultural products, other than rice, cotton, and tobacco, exported from all the States to foreign countries, for the last seven years, as copied from official documents, will throw some light upon this brunch of our subfect. Exported in lBWi, $7,M4,17!) Do. in 1KJ7, 5,4?4,yi:j Do. in ltfW, .V,'(K),4!9 Do. in JKlit, ll-Wl.ll Do. in 1H40, . lftrttrW.) Do. in 1841, 15,m7y8 Do. in m 17.507,214 For the same years, the valuo of cotton oxported to foreign countries, averaged about C5 millions of dollars annually. Thus, whilst the cotton growing states containing a white population nut much greater than that of the State of Ohio, oxported in seven year, cotton to the amount ol 4o5 millions of dollars, tho whole of the grain growing states exported in bread stiill's, in the same length of time, to the amount of only 80 millions of dollars ! ! ! 1 ho question now arises, How does it happen that whilst tho demand for our bread stuffs, in foreiirn countries, has been gradually increasing, and was greater last yenr than in any previous year lor seven years pant, the price at homo lias so greatly dimiii-iched ? How does it happen, th it in the years 18:10, 18:17, and when the foreign demand was least, tho price of wheat in Ohio was higher than in and other similar period of time within seven years prist? Anticipating that tho reader might bu startled at this assertion and inclined to doubt it, we applied to Mr. James Mean, of this city, for a list of tho aver-ago prices of wheat at his mill, for every year for seven years past, nnd rcccivod from him the follow ing Communication: Messrs. J. k tt, C. tl'itaon-Gentlemen : In con formity with your request, 1 herewith furnish you with a statement of the iivorntre price of Wheat at my mill, for the years IBJti, ';t7, it 'll'J '40, '41, M'Jj, and thus far in It) Kl.

From these statements, the authenticity of which no ono can dispute, it appears tlut during the first throe years of the above seven, when the foreign demand wns at its lowest point, the price of wheat was at its highest rate, ami it also nppenrs that, in about the proportion at which tho foreign demand increased, tho price uf wheat diminished. Tins is a result that wo were not aware of, until tested and approved by official documents. If then, as has been fully shown, the price of grain in Ohio is not affected by the foreign demand, that that demand being trilling when compared with our surplus, we must look to other causes for the prices and fluctuations which have occurred within the pe riod mentioned, and which are exhibited in tho statement of Mr. Means. A tdiorlucss of the crop or a general scarcity, will, of coune, cnuso grain to rise in price for a season or ns long as Ihe scarcity mny continue. In only one of tho years abovo named, we believe, was there a short crop of wheat, the price alfecti-d accordingly. Having some reason to believe, that the price of wheat arid other grain, wits affected to a greater extent by the wnrfire carried on ngaint our host banks, wo linked Mr. Mondey, tho cashier of the late Fanners' and Mechanics' Bmk of Steubcnville, to f ivor us with the average amount of notes of said bank in circulation, for each of tho seven years ist, who gave us the following statement:Average circulation in :187,9I0 atxi1t, 1:I7,I!K) yi8,r.7 70,'W.i do. 1K17, Irt W, do. do, do, da lKt! 181(1, 1841, JHI'i, 18.IW! U7;w do I8i;i, Tho reader will observe n remarkable coincidence between the highest prices for wheat and the highest amount of F. & M. lhnk notes in circulation. The yenrs 18ki, 1J7, and IK, were those which exhibited the greatest amount of notes in circulation, and also the highest prices lor wheat; wheat averaging, during those four years, a dollar a bushel. In the latter yenr, a tierce war againtt the banks wus waged, the sub-truaury organised, &c. ( tho consequence of which wns, that tho circulation uf the notes of the notes of said bank diminished from ijt'i I H,,7 to O.'iV In 18-H, the Murrnon adunuislration wns inaugurated, and the puce of wheat ran up from 47 to 7i cents per bushel. In IHI'i, the price ran down to til cents, and in 181:1 to 45. Wo give the F. Sl. M. Idnk of Steubenvillo as an example of the whole.

The pcnole of Ohio oo them about eight millions of dollars, which must now be paid without the aid of any it ink facilities, out of the resources of the country, and hy the sniat of tlie brow. Four millions more are due to the existing Banks, which must also be collected within a short pertud, as no Bmk will attempt to do business under the unfair and impracticable law of last winter making a sum total of twelve millions duo the Hanks, while the same Inst), tut ions owe the public less than three millions. Wo take no account here, of the Put Binks, or spurious institutions got up under the auspices uf the Bank Commissioners, of whose affairs we can gic no account. Their days were few and evil, nnd they are now scarcely heard of, except in tho ollorta that are making in the Courts ol Law, to subject their owners and managers to the ojcratioii of the principle of individual responsibility, for tho salutary effects of which they are beautiful examples.1 At present, the circulnliuu of all tho Bntiks in Ohio is less than U million. It is now obtious Ut, that tho price uf wheat has not, for seven years past, been beneficially affected by foreign demand ; on the contrary, in the same proportion that exportation of Ihatnrticle to fiwign countries have diminished, the price here has raised i d, that in tho initio proiMirtion as money has been forced nut of circulation by tho opponents and persecutors of tho solvent Bunks, wheat has fallen in price. Now let ns sen how much money the people of Jefferson county have Inst, by the wnrfaro iqon tho Bunks and tho consequent reduction in the price of grain. Referring to tho census of the United States, taken in the yenr 1810, wo find tho following as tho quantity of grain raised in Jefferson county, to which wo havo nllixed the average pricoa of the four first years included in our stntement i Bushels of wheat ;t8,478 valuo flfM.ITB do. of com, UliMtf) do, p!i,iill do, of oats, ,J0 do.

Their loss is, in fact, much mure than this, for the reason that the cost of production goes into tiie sum for which the produce is sold, and will absorb at least the half uf it, whilst the sum lost may ue cnicuiat.cn as prolit. In tact, wheat at 1 per bushel, is at least three times the price of wheat at 50 cents the bushel.

From the Balliumro American. The finite Tritilv. The present month completes a tiuarter of a cen tury since the first steambout was launched upon the Western Lines. "Wiring that period, says the iJiitl.ilo Commercial Advertiser, "changes of vant magmtudo have been effected bv tho application of the mighty agent, steam. Dense forests, which frowned from the margin of great lakes, have been felled to give place to thriving villages, and the moo- ily, aboriginal occupant who gazed with wonderment at the approach of the ponderous vehicle, has become extinct, or is known only as a wanderer beyond the I nulls ol the Mississippi. Lhati'ies like these have characterized tho introduction of mtoatn upon the Inkes, nud the independent, inquiring spirit which so ilislinctlv marK tlio haDits ot tin? people ol this country, has kept pneo with the progress of steam westwaidly, nnd developed the fertility nnd abounding resources of the prairies, until they have become the granirics of the world." Too editor of the Advertiser hns furnished the public with a list of the steamboats employed on tho Like from tho Mmo ot their introduction un to the present season, with places nnd d-ites of building, together with their toiiagc. This list embraces one hundred nnd fifteen steamboats, wilh nn aggregate lounge of 47,000 tons. Assuming i?:tO a ton as the cost of building and fitting out this description of vessels, we have as the ttal cost of tho whole number, the sum of gCi,5lO,000. During the whole period of twenty-five years, there have been but four explosions which might be termed serious. By these thirty lives were lout. Eleven steamboats were burned during tho smiie period, by which three hundred and ten lives were lost f en wore wrecked, and three sank hy collision, riiirtecn havo gradually gone to decay, nine of the larger class of boats have been hud up in ordinary, nnd live have been converted into sail craft. The number of steamboats yet renin imn2 of the whole onco in commission on Lake Erie, and the other upjicr lakes, is about sixty, with an aggregate of 17,000 Ions. Of these, some thirty-five only are used when the Consolidation of steamboat ownership is in existence. Of the whole number of boats put in commission during the above period, only ten were built and owned in Canada. The first steamer known to be upon Lake Michi gan wns the Henry Clay. In AuirnsL 18,'7, an ex cursion of pleasure wns made in her to Green B ty, where uov. l-nss was holding a treaty with the Win-nrbagoes. After the treaty was concluded, Gov. C. and suite returned in the Clay. From tint period to n-vz, some ot Die boats went to tireen Ihy, hut no further. On ttm breaking out of the Black Hawk war, several of the larger boats were chartered by Government, to convey troops to tho disaffected territory, nml Chicago for the first time was greeted by the sight of one of those strange visiters. 1 tie nrticlo from which we have quoted so liber ally concludes with the following remarks in reference to the now system of propelling steamboats, known as Ericsson's plan : The building of the propeller Hercules is the com mencement of n new era in lake navigation, and her owners predict for that description of vessels a large share of the carrying trade, especially upon tho up- t;r lakes, ihe II. is ,' tons burthen, 1.17 feet mg, t5 feet beam, 8 feet hold, end put together in the strongest manner. She lias 14 state-rooms, fi feel square with sufficient additional spneo fur the erection of 4i berths more, nnd frmn the peculiir symmetry of the II. sho will doubtless afford ample accninrnodatious for families emigrating. Her space below for storage is lurge, having al most the entire hull of the vessel appropriated for that puqxMC. The peculiar feature, however, of the Hercules, is her engine and its auxiliaries. On ex amining the machinery, all arc Btruck with tho infinite compactness of the steam apparatus, and its perfect simplicity, tho whole weighing but fifteen tons. Tho engine is simple nnd very small, lies close upon the kelson, and fills but a space of six feet square. It is one of the Ericsson's patent, was made at Auburn, and is computed to be of f0 horse power. Wo might here remark that the weight of an en- gtno and boilers for one of our largest ut earners is estimated at fmrn 00 to 70 tons the dead weight of which a propeller escapes carrying. Iho pnddles are made of boiler iron, I inch thick, 18 inches broad by 30, nnd are placed on two lung wrought iron ahnfts protruding Irom either side ol the stern post. The diameters of tho paddles are (i feet 4 im lies. From the superb manner in which tho Hercules is built and filled out, having cost nearly if'iO.OOO, it is apparent that tho Messrs. llollister are determined to give the experiment a full nnd fair trial. Another boat id the same ton ure, tor the same owners, is now being built at Perrvslmrgh, and wilt ho nut next month. The Clevetmd pmpeller was launched on the Wd ult., and the fourth vessel of tho kind is rapidly progressing tnwnrds completion at Chicago, Ten cords ol wood, at a com ot 91 win suthce the propeller per diem; whilo one of our largest steamers will consume two cords per hour, at a cost of $0 a day.

COLUMBUS, WEDNESDAY, Ohla Bunks, We gather from the money article of a late Cincinnati Gazette, the following particulars relative to the condition of our State Banks at the close of the last quarter made up from the Stale Auditor's quarterly statement upon the subject: In the last three months the circulation of the Ohio Banks hasslightly decreased, it being now something less than one million and a half of dollars, the greater part of tho Banks1 which have closed having previously taken up their notes in anticipation of that event. All the Banks now in existence are in good credit, and no fears are entertained that any of them will depreciate, or that any effort will be made by any of them to increase their liabilities. The amount of specie in the vaults of the Banks is upwards of six hundred and thirty thousand dollars. The Banks whose charters havo expired are quietly closing their afiairs. The people of Ohio owe them about eigJ millions of dollars, which must now be paid, without tho aid of any Bank facilities, out of the resources of the country, and by the sweat of the brow. Four millions more arc due to the existing Banks, which must also be collected within a short period, as no Bank will attempt to do business under the unfair and impracticable law of last wintermaking a sum total of twelve millions due the Banks, whilo the same institutions owe the public less Uian three millions.

The paper of Indiana, Kentucky, and Virginia, chculates in other parts of the State. And it is a fact, that the people of Ohio pay out $300,000 interest to other States, for the currency that circulates in Ohio ; that might be retained at home, if wo had good Banks, as wo should have, 11 But the policy of those dear friends of tiie people, hns been to destroy the Batiks to drive from circulation a good homo currency und to compel foreign capitalist to withdraw their capital from the State.

The Washington Correspondent of tho Aurorn, asserted, by the Tribune, to be Master Hubert Tyler, indulges in the following remarks upon tho defeat of Mr. Bolts: u We have positive intelligence of Mr. Botts' drfint by ono or two hundred votes. The yeomanry of Richmond turned out to repel his insolent invective and daring u?snults upon tho Executive; they have manfully rebuked the great factious "bender," and left him nt homo to sink into that insignificance for which nature intended him, nnd which the people of his own firenido havo now confirmed.

It has been some time since the Legislature ad journed, and no tinner done as vet in the wav of nut- ting cne new Danks chartered by said Legislature in operation. The noise made about the Dayton, Eaton, Chillicothe, and Mount Pleasant banks has died awn v. ana me movers in this new banking law are compelled to acknowledge tt to be an impracticable system. It was not the intention of the Legislature to pass a banking law that would in any wise be acceptable to the people ; but their design was to enact a law that would suit the hard money men, and the provisions of this law are as lame and impotent as those who made it are void of common sense and common honesty. If the people of Ohio, after several years ex perience oi Dank rotorm, sutler themselves lo be trifled with this year, they'll evidence a willingness to be physicked by these nuacks until nothing but their shadows enn be seen. 1 his game of humbugcrv and decern ion has beeo played long enough. Let the sufferinir people come forth in their strength, and send men to tfic Legislature who will practice what they preach, and make such laws for us as will meet with the approbation of every good citizen in the Slate.

Well, we were ratner surprised the other doy, in reading a Mississippi newspaper, to find him figuring very prominently and conspicuously at a lurge public meeting in that Stato.

Tho mystery wos soon explained however for we found that the assemblage wns a gathering of me repuaiaiors. in course Hhocco had a right to carry his head high among them, for he was as good as the best of them. Lou. Jour. Individual Responsibility. What have the Locos, these dear friends of the people, done for the people of Ohio, by inserting the individual responsibility n in their humbug Bank Bill? It is ibis. There are three Brokers now in this city, who arc con nected with, and have under their control, three Michigan Banks, that furnish a circulating currency in this vicinity. The paper of ludinuu. Kentucky. and Virginia, circulates in other parts of the State. And it is a tact, that the people ot Ohio pay about .:t00,000 interest to otfier Suites, for tho currency that circulates in Ohio; that might bo retained at home, if we had good Banks, as we should have. But the policy of these dear friends of the people, has been to destroy the Banks to drive from circulation a good home currency and to compel foreiirn capitalists to w ithdraw their capital from the Stale. Never was a people more humbugged than the Buckeyes have been by Bank reform (destruction) legisla tures, i ne people may learn wisdom when it is too late. Cleveland Herald.

There has not been so much good feel-in IT, or confidence for a long time as there is at pro-Bent.The movements of the Secretary of tlio Treasury begin to he looked to with a good deal of interest Hp is making an effort which will probably be successful to convert $8,000,000 of Treasury Notes, o.t or before July next, into five per cent. Government titock. The money has not yet been obtained to meet Ihe payment, but an arrangement has beJn made with certain banks to redeem and hold all such as may he presented previous to that date.

CongrrMiounl Con Trillion. The Whigs of Franklin will obscrvo by the following proceedings of a meeting of their political brethren in Knox county, that a movement is making for an early Convention to nominate a candidato for this Congressional district; and l this they will doubtless properly and promptly respond : Kuox Count? Convention. Pursuant to a call emanating from Ilm Whig County Committee, and published in the Times, n Convention of tho Whigs of Knox took piano in tho Court House in Mt. Vernon, on Saturday 1,1th May, im. The meeting being called to order, James Rigby, Eq., was chosen President, and W. II. Cochran, Kecrelary. On motion, J. B. Brown, R. C. Hurd, and G. A, Junes were appointed a committee to nominate dele piles to represent this county in (ho approaching District Convention. The Committee having retired a few minutes, reported a delegation of twenty-five persons, corresponding to tho number of townships in tho county, nnd recommended that they should have power to till any vacancies that may occur. On motion the report was unanimously adopted, and tho persons named as follows confirmed as delegates: Alexander Ilirnos, Caleb Lett, G. W Ilouclr, Hani Durbin, C. Delano, A. II. Brown, J. W.

The following resolutions being ottered by U. C. Hurd, were on motion adopted item. eon. Whereas, the great principles advncnled by the Whig parly, when fairly carried into the policy and practice id our Government, have been attended with public prosperity; and, whereas, every radical departure from them has been attended with public distress nnd calamity ; therefore, Resolved, Tint tlio clear lights of reason and experience require us to adhere to, and advocate those principles, Hrt among which stand a National Currency, and a Protective Turilt. Hisohed, That tho pernicious doctrines of B ink Destruction and an exclusive metnllic currency, which have mingled to an indefinite degree in the councils and official labors of tho Democratic parly, no called ; and which in this Stale have covcrod our Hut ii to Book with a series of currency stop laws, are vicious off-moots from the original error of attempting to reform a National Currency acknowledged to have been the best in tho world.

Since this Institution passed into tho hands of tho Locol'ocos, it has been a constant bone of contention among the lean nnd hungry office seekers of that party.

Tne Erll and the Itemed r. The physician, upon visiting a sick patient, and before prescribing medicine, feels his pulse, examines his tongue, and enquires into his hah its and modes of living. The nature of the disease being thus ascertained, the remedies are administered accordingly. Let us apply this common sense mode of doing business, to the disease under which the body politic, or, in other words, the entire community, are now laboring.This disease is want of profitable employment want of remunerating prices for agricultural products and want of a sufficient circulating medium Which disease, with all its disustrous and fatal ef- fncts, has been brought upon us by a refusal of our legislators to rec barter the sound and solvent banks, and the consequent withdrawal of their notes from circulation. To this cause alone the putting down of tho banks may be attributed tho low price for wheat, the almost no price for corn, potatoes, butter, oats, and agricultural products generally. Soma persons insist upon it, that these, low prices and no prices, are caused by the cessation or want of a foreign demand. We would ask such persons, when it was, that wo had any better foreign market than we have at present, for oats, corn, potatoes, butter, eggs, &c ? And as to the article of wheat, the great staple of Ohio, when, within the last seven years, has the foreign demand been greater than it is now ? The following statement of the Agricultural products, other than rice, cotton, and tobacco, exported from all the States to foreign countries, for the last seven years, as copied from official documents, will throw some light upon this brunch of our subfect. Exported in lBWi, $7,M4,17!) Do. in 1KJ7, 5,4?4,yi:j Do. in ltfW, .V,'(K),4!9 Do. in JKlit, ll-Wl.ll Do. in 1H40, . lftrttrW.) Do. in 1841, 15,m7y8 Do. in m 17.507,214 For the same years, the valuo of cotton oxported to foreign countries, averaged about C5 millions of dollars annually. Thus, whilst the cotton growing states containing a white population nut much greater than that of the State of Ohio, oxported in seven year, cotton to the amount ol 4o5 millions of dollars, tho whole of the grain growing states exported in bread stiill's, in the same length of time, to the amount of only 80 millions of dollars ! ! ! 1 ho question now arises, How does it happen that whilst tho demand for our bread stuffs, in foreiirn countries, has been gradually increasing, and was greater last yenr than in any previous year lor seven years pant, the price at homo lias so greatly dimiii-iched ? How does it happen, th it in the years 18:10, 18:17, and when the foreign demand was least, tho price of wheat in Ohio was higher than in and other similar period of time within seven years prist? Anticipating that tho reader might bu startled at this assertion and inclined to doubt it, we applied to Mr. James Mean, of this city, for a list of tho aver-ago prices of wheat at his mill, for every year for seven years past, nnd rcccivod from him the follow ing Communication: Messrs. J. k tt, C. tl'itaon-Gentlemen : In con formity with your request, 1 herewith furnish you with a statement of the iivorntre price of Wheat at my mill, for the years IBJti, ';t7, it 'll'J '40, '41, M'Jj, and thus far in It) Kl.

From these statements, the authenticity of which no ono can dispute, it appears tlut during the first throe years of the above seven, when the foreign demand wns at its lowest point, the price of wheat was at its highest rate, ami it also nppenrs that, in about the proportion at which tho foreign demand increased, tho price uf wheat diminished. Tins is a result that wo were not aware of, until tested and approved by official documents. If then, as has been fully shown, the price of grain in Ohio is not affected by the foreign demand, that that demand being trilling when compared with our surplus, we must look to other causes for the prices and fluctuations which have occurred within the pe riod mentioned, and which are exhibited in tho statement of Mr. Means. A tdiorlucss of the crop or a general scarcity, will, of coune, cnuso grain to rise in price for a season or ns long as Ihe scarcity mny continue. In only one of tho years abovo named, we believe, was there a short crop of wheat, the price alfecti-d accordingly. Having some reason to believe, that the price of wheat arid other grain, wits affected to a greater extent by the wnrfire carried on ngaint our host banks, wo linked Mr. Mondey, tho cashier of the late Fanners' and Mechanics' Bmk of Steubcnville, to f ivor us with the average amount of notes of said bank in circulation, for each of tho seven years ist, who gave us the following statement:Average circulation in :187,9I0 atxi1t, 1:I7,I!K) yi8,r.7 70,'W.i do. 1K17, Irt W, do. do, do, da lKt! 181(1, 1841, JHI'i, 18.IW! U7;w do I8i;i, Tho reader will observe n remarkable coincidence between the highest prices for wheat and the highest amount of F. & M. lhnk notes in circulation. The yenrs 18ki, 1J7, and IK, were those which exhibited the greatest amount of notes in circulation, and also the highest prices lor wheat; wheat averaging, during those four years, a dollar a bushel. In the latter yenr, a tierce war againtt the banks wus waged, the sub-truaury organised, &c. ( tho consequence of which wns, that tho circulation uf the notes of the notes of said bank diminished from ijt'i I H,,7 to O.'iV In 18-H, the Murrnon adunuislration wns inaugurated, and the puce of wheat ran up from 47 to 7i cents per bushel. In IHI'i, the price ran down to til cents, and in 181:1 to 45. Wo give the F. Sl. M. Idnk of Steubenvillo as an example of the whole.

The pcnole of Ohio oo them about eight millions of dollars, which must now be paid without the aid of any it ink facilities, out of the resources of the country, and hy the sniat of tlie brow. Four millions more are due to the existing Banks, which must also be collected within a short pertud, as no Bmk will attempt to do business under the unfair and impracticable law of last winter making a sum total of twelve millions duo the Hanks, while the same Inst), tut ions owe the public less than three millions. Wo take no account here, of the Put Binks, or spurious institutions got up under the auspices uf the Bank Commissioners, of whose affairs we can gic no account. Their days were few and evil, nnd they are now scarcely heard of, except in tho ollorta that are making in the Courts ol Law, to subject their owners and managers to the ojcratioii of the principle of individual responsibility, for tho salutary effects of which they are beautiful examples.1 At present, the circulnliuu of all tho Bntiks in Ohio is less than U million. It is now obtious Ut, that tho price uf wheat has not, for seven years past, been beneficially affected by foreign demand ; on the contrary, in the same proportion that exportation of Ihatnrticle to fiwign countries have diminished, the price here has raised i d, that in tho initio proiMirtion as money has been forced nut of circulation by tho opponents and persecutors of tho solvent Bunks, wheat has fallen in price. Now let ns sen how much money the people of Jefferson county have Inst, by the wnrfaro iqon tho Bunks and tho consequent reduction in the price of grain.

Their loss is, in fact, much mure than this, for the reason that the cost of production goes into tiie sum for which the produce is sold, and will absorb at least the half uf it, whilst the sum lost may ue cnicuiat.cn as prolit. In tact, wheat at 1 per bushel, is at least three times the price of wheat at 50 cents the bushel.

From the Balliumro American. The finite Tritilv. The present month completes a tiuarter of a cen tury since the first steambout was launched upon the Western Lines. "Wiring that period, says the iJiitl.ilo Commercial Advertiser, "changes of vant magmtudo have been effected bv tho application of the mighty agent, steam. Dense forests, which frowned from the margin of great lakes, have been felled to give place to thriving villages, and the moo- ily, aboriginal occupant who gazed with wonderment at the approach of the ponderous vehicle, has become extinct, or is known only as a wanderer beyond the I nulls ol the Mississippi. Lhati'ies like these have characterized tho introduction of mtoatn upon the Inkes, nud the independent, inquiring spirit which so ilislinctlv marK tlio haDits ot tin? people ol this country, has kept pneo with the progress of steam westwaidly, nnd developed the fertility nnd abounding resources of the prairies, until they have become the granirics of the world." Too editor of the Advertiser hns furnished the public with a list of the steamboats employed on tho Like from tho Mmo ot their introduction un to the present season, with places nnd d-ites of building, together with their toiiagc. This list embraces one hundred nnd fifteen steamboats, wilh nn aggregate lounge of 47,000 tons. Assuming i?:tO a ton as the cost of building and fitting out this description of vessels, we have as the ttal cost of tho whole number, the sum of gCi,5lO,000. During the whole period of twenty-five years, there have been but four explosions which might be termed serious. By these thirty lives were lout. Eleven steamboats were burned during tho smiie period, by which three hundred and ten lives were lost f en wore wrecked, and three sank hy collision, riiirtecn havo gradually gone to decay, nine of the larger class of boats have been hud up in ordinary, nnd live have been converted into sail craft. The number of steamboats yet renin imn2 of the whole onco in commission on Lake Erie, and the other upjicr lakes, is about sixty, with an aggregate of 17,000 Ions. Of these, some thirty-five only are used when the Consolidation of steamboat ownership is in existence. Of the whole number of boats put in commission during the above period, only ten were built and owned in Canada. The first steamer known to be upon Lake Michi gan wns the Henry Clay. In AuirnsL 18,'7, an ex cursion of pleasure wns made in her to Green B ty, where uov. l-nss was holding a treaty with the Win-nrbagoes. After the treaty was concluded, Gov. C. and suite returned in the Clay. From tint period to n-vz, some ot Die boats went to tireen Ihy, hut no further. On ttm breaking out of the Black Hawk war, several of the larger boats were chartered by Government, to convey troops to tho disaffected territory, nml Chicago for the first time was greeted by the sight of one of those strange visiters. 1 tie nrticlo from which we have quoted so liber ally concludes with the following remarks in reference to the now system of propelling steamboats, known as Ericsson's plan : The building of the propeller Hercules is the com mencement of n new era in lake navigation, and her owners predict for that description of vessels a large share of the carrying trade, especially upon tho up- t;r lakes, ihe II. is ,' tons burthen, 1.17 feet mg, t5 feet beam, 8 feet hold, end put together in the strongest manner. She lias 14 state-rooms, fi feel square with sufficient additional spneo fur the erection of 4i berths more, nnd frmn the peculiir symmetry of the II. sho will doubtless afford ample accninrnodatious for families emigrating. Her space below for storage is lurge, having al most the entire hull of the vessel appropriated for that puqxMC. The peculiar feature, however, of the Hercules, is her engine and its auxiliaries. On ex amining the machinery, all arc Btruck with tho infinite compactness of the steam apparatus, and its perfect simplicity, tho whole weighing but fifteen tons. Tho engine is simple nnd very small, lies close upon the kelson, and fills but a space of six feet square. It is one of the Ericsson's patent, was made at Auburn, and is computed to be of f0 horse power. Wo might here remark that the weight of an en- gtno and boilers for one of our largest ut earners is estimated at fmrn 00 to 70 tons the dead weight of which a propeller escapes carrying. Iho pnddles are made of boiler iron, I inch thick, 18 inches broad by 30, nnd are placed on two lung wrought iron ahnfts protruding Irom either side ol the stern post. The diameters of tho paddles are (i feet 4 im lies. From the superb manner in which tho Hercules is built and filled out, having cost nearly if'iO.OOO, it is apparent that tho Messrs. llollister are determined to give the experiment a full nnd fair trial. Another boat id the same ton ure, tor the same owners, is now being built at Perrvslmrgh, and wilt ho nut next month. The Clevetmd pmpeller was launched on the Wd ult., and the fourth vessel of tho kind is rapidly progressing tnwnrds completion at Chicago, Ten cords ol wood, at a com ot 91 win suthce the propeller per diem; whilo one of our largest steamers will consume two cords per hour, at a cost of $0 a day.

COLUMBUS, WEDNESDAY, Ohla Bunks, We gather from the money article of a late Cincinnati Gazette, the following particulars relative to the condition of our State Banks at the close of the last quarter made up from the Stale Auditor's quarterly statement upon the subject: In the last three months the circulation of the Ohio Banks hasslightly decreased, it being now something less than one million and a half of dollars, the greater part of tho Banks1 which have closed having previously taken up their notes in anticipation of that event. All the Banks now in existence are in good credit, and no fears are entertained that any of them will depreciate, or that any effort will be made by any of them to increase their liabilities. The amount of specie in the vaults of the Banks is upwards of six hundred and thirty thousand dollars. The Banks whose charters havo expired are quietly closing their afiairs. The people of Ohio owe them about eigJ millions of dollars, which must now be paid, without tho aid of any Bank facilities, out of the resources of the country, and by the sweat of the brow. Four millions more arc due to the existing Banks, which must also be collected within a short period, as no Bank will attempt to do business under the unfair and impracticable law of last wintermaking a sum total of twelve millions due the Banks, whilo the same institutions owe the public less Uian three millions.

The yeomanry of Richmond turned out to repel his insolent invective and daring u?snults upon tho Executive; they have manfully rebuked the great factious "bender," and left him nt homo to sink into that insignificance for which nature intended him, nnd which the people of his own firenido havo now confirmed.

It has been some time since the Legislature ad journed, and no tinner done as vet in the wav of nut- ting cne new Danks chartered by said Legislature in operation. The noise made about the Dayton, Eaton, Chillicothe, and Mount Pleasant banks has died awn v. ana me movers in this new banking law are compelled to acknowledge tt to be an impracticable system. It was not the intention of the Legislature to pass a banking law that would in any wise be acceptable to the people ; but their design was to enact a law that would suit the hard money men, and the provisions of this law are as lame and impotent as those who made it are void of common sense and common honesty. If the people of Ohio, after several years ex perience oi Dank rotorm, sutler themselves lo be trifled with this year, they'll evidence a willingness to be physicked by these nuacks until nothing but their shadows enn be seen. 1 his game of humbugcrv and decern ion has beeo played long enough.

Lou. Jour. Individual Responsibility. What have the Locos, these dear friends of the people, done for the people of Ohio, by inserting the individual responsibility n in their humbug Bank Bill? It is ibis. There are three Brokers now in this city, who arc con nected with, and have under their control, three Michigan Banks, that furnish a circulating currency in this vicinity. The paper of ludinuu. Kentucky. and Virginia, circulates in other parts of the State. And it is a tact, that the people ot Ohio pay about .:t00,000 interest to otfier Suites, for tho currency that circulates in Ohio; that might bo retained at home, if we had good Banks, as we should have. But the policy of these dear friends of the people, has been to destroy the Banks to drive from circulation a good home currency and to compel foreiirn capitalists to w ithdraw their capital from the Stale. Never was a people more humbugged than the Buckeyes have been by Bank reform (destruction) legisla tures, i ne people may learn wisdom when it is too late. Cleveland Herald.
